Hi John,

I have heard that http://www.indiegogo.com is worth a look, seeing as it lets you keep funds even if your 'wants' haven't been met.

Regards, H

Hi John,
You may find this blog post I wrote earlier in the year useful, in which I evaluated the crowd-funding campaign I'd just finished and discussed my choice of site: http://neiloseman.com/?p=1695

We were also invited to curate a Shooters Kickstarter page on the front of the Kickstarter page, which has had a lot of sucess for shooter filmmakers. In 2012, Shooters raised a whopping total of $9mn for their films. We're super pleased kickstarter have now also come to the UK. If you have a project you'd like us to promote, get in touch.

Neil, thanks for the link. It's really useful. Just one point: Kickstarter UK launched just over a month ago and claims it has already raised more the £2 million.
